EDITORIAL
Wim van der Plas
With time, our Calendar is becoming more complete. We have had positive
comments on that. However, there are two remarks to be made: 1: it is not
as complete as we would like, and 2: this newsletter is supposed to be
more than a calendar. Considering these points further, we note that:
1: In fact, the newsletter is rather one sided. What is lacking, to a
large extent, is music and music-related art events. The idea behind ISEA
is interdisciplinarity. All the arts will start to merge, thanks to the
electronic revolution. That is why we need the communication structure
that ISEA tries to provide. Who is going to send us more information on
electronic and computer music events?
2: Please, do not hesitate to give us your thoughts on any aspect of
electronic art. We would welcome practice, such as reviews of events, or
theory. Do not leave it up to the correspondents alone. They do not get
paid for this either! Pieces should be no longer than one half to one
page. If possible, send material by Email.
We are happy to be able to tell you that all the International Symposia on
Electronic Art currently planned are making good progress. In Minneapolis
(4th ISEA) they are working like crazy, judging proposals and preparing
the preliminary program. In Helsinki, Minna Tarka was appointed coor-
dinator in order to organize the fifth symposium next year for the Univer-
sity of Industrial Arts. The Montreal group has held a number of meetings
in order to finalize their plans for ISEA '95.

MEDIEN LABOR MUNCHEN
Prof. Herbert Franke
A new laboratory has been created in Munich for the implementation of
interdisciplinary Media Art projects: the Medien Labor Munchen - MLM. It
is currently housed in the second floor of the Kunstlerwerkstatt in the
Lothringer Strasse, and was set up through the auspices of the Cultural
Affairs Office (Kulturreferat) of the City of Munich with the help of
several industry sponsors, including the Siemens Cultural Program.
In its pilot phase, the primary task of the MLM will be to hold courses
and workshops on the artistic possibilities of the new media, as well as
to convey basic technical knowledge on their use and implementation.
These classes are open to all interested parties - especially artists, but
also to people in the natural sciences and humanities. The goal of these
courses is to enable participants to independently use electronic tools to
carry out long-term projects at the MLM. Beyond this, criteria for an
aesthetic of the new media arts and appropriate forms for their presen-
tation should be developed. Further, lecture series, conferences and
exhibitions are planned in order to engage a broad section of the public
in a discussion on the media arts.

WIN 2 K's OF GOLD
Wim van der Plas
Since gold is still very hard to synthesize, this is the way to get it.
CorelDRAW organizes an ongoing competition for its registered users. This
competition has been going on for a few years and the winners of this year
will receive their prizes during an 'Academy Award of Graphics' on the
20th of May in the National Gallery of Ottawa, Canada. There are 1,000,000
Canadian dollars to be won, plus 2 kilograms of gold. The results of the
competition are published in an annual book called Corel Art Show
available from the book store.
The new competition starts in August. There are monthly competitions until
April, so you can enter more than once.
For further information: tel 1-613-728-8200, fax 728-2891.

MANIFESTATION FOR THE UNSTABLE MEDIA V
V2 Organisation
1 - 10 October 1993, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands
The 5th edition of this annual festival will be on the BODY: 'the physical
body in relation to the immaterial body in electronic space', 'the body as
an architectural object that can be designed', 'the body in ruin', 'the
body without organs' and more of these topics wil be addressed to. In
general our relation to nature will be a central issue: 'is man still the
measurement of all things ?' and 'are we machines living in a hyper
cartesian age ?'. The festival will have an analytic approach on our
technological society in relation to the arts. An exhibition, radioshow,
symposium and some performances will be part of this festival that will
present an international group of artists and scientific researchers.
Participating artists will be: Stelarc (Australia) performing with his
third hand and a virtual 4th hand; Erik Hobijn (NL) with his 'Delusions
of self immolation'machine that can give you an extreme physical and
psychological experience; Paul Sermon (UK) presenting his 'Telematic
dreaming' an intimate work that tries to evoke an interaction between the
telematic and the physical body; Arthus and Marilouise Kroker (Canada)
will talk on the 'body invaders'; Gregory Whitehead (USA) will take part
in the live radioshow on October 1st and bring some radiobodies to live.
Other artists will be involved in this festival. For more information
please contact: V2 Organisation, PO Box 11007, 5200 ES 's-Hertogenbosch,

Organization: The International Association for Knowledge Technology in
the Art The Labolatories of Image Information Science and Technology
(L.I.S.T) Chairmen: David Cope, Bernard Bel and Haruhiro Katayose
Abstract:
Following the 1993 ICMC in Tokyo, Japan, a Workshop on Knowledge
Technology in the Arts will be held in Osaka, 3 hours from Tokyo by train,
and 1 hour by plane. The Workshop is sponsored by the International
Association for Knowledge Technology in the Arts, IAKTA, Inc., Boston, MA,
USA (Otto Laske, President) and Laboratories of Image Information Science
and Technology, Osaka, Japan (Haruhiro Katayose, Workshop Coordinator).
We are herewith calling for papers on applications of symbolic and
connectionist AI to topics in composition, design, performance, and
teaching in the computer arts (music, film, video, poetry, dance,
sculpture, drawing, performance art, etc.). In particular, we are looking
for reflections upon the impact of knowledge technology (algorithms,
knowledge bases, neural networks, hypermedia, virtual reality) on the
artistic process. We are also encouraging tutorial materials on these
topics which are geared to encouraging novices in the field to become
involved with new technologies in the arts. Email submission is welcome.
Important constraints of submission are:
1. 1000-word abstract (English), due by April 30, 1993
2. June 30, 1993: notice of acceptance/rejection
3. July 30, 1993: deadline for submitting camera-ready, free format text
4. Workshop fee: equivalent of US$ 20.00.
The Workshop will comprise papers, panels, demonstrations, and a computer
music concert, as well as a banquet. Demonstrations will be presented by
the Laboratories of Image Information Science and Technology.

WORKING PAPERS 6
Jim Demmers
PUBLIC DOMAIN as an organization is devoted in both theory and practice to
examinations of the relationships between art and ideas, and more
specifically, the role that technology plays in constituting modern life
and thought. To facilitate these explorations we conduct a series of
presentations called WORKING PAPERS several times a year, publish a
limited edition of the journal PERFORATIONS, and provide on-line computer
network services for Public Domain members.
This Spring's series of WORKING PAPERS will be held at the Homage Coffee
House at 255 Trinity Ave. (near the Trinity gallery) in downtown Atlanta.
(Their phone number is 404-525-7546). Each session will begin at 7:30
p.m. and last approximately one hour. There will be an opportunity for
discussion following each presentation. Admission is free and open to the
public.

TELAESTHESIA '93
May 1993, Village Square, Brighton Marina, Brighton, UK
This is an international call for FAX ART: the (techno)logical successor
to mail art. Throughout May 1993, visitors to the largest Arts Festival
in England will be invited to enter an extraordinary gallery where YOU
can control both the environment AND the contents of the show, remotely,
with your local FAX machine.
We invite YOU to help decorate the gallery. Design a vertically-
repeating wallpaper pattern on a sheet of paper and FAX it to us. We
will then make several copies of the design, attach them together
and then 'hang' your strip of wallpaper in our gallery. We invite you
also to FAX other 'ornaments' for the gallery walls: clocks, decorative
plates, flying ducks - let your imagination run wild!
The theme of the Xhibition is "telaesthesia". We invite you to FAX to
us your visual interpretations of the five known human senses and/or
your experiences beyond the sixth sense. All artwork received will be
displayed in our 'newly decorated' gallery space.
Fax : 0273-818352 (UK), Fax: 44-273-818352 (rest of world), Faxes accepted
